Main

Juqiang Chen

I am a Doctor of Philosophy candidate with the MARCS Institute for Brain, Behaviour and Development at Western Sydney University, starting in 2017 with Prof. Catherine Best, and Dr. Mark Antoniou. My research interest and expertise are in second language speech perception/production.

In addition to my PhD project, I also do some work on some endangered aboriginal Australia Languages, Arabana and Kaytetye, with Mark Harvey, Robert Mailhammer, and Micheal Proctor.

Apart from speech-related studies, I am also keen on exploring social and stylistic language variations with methods from corpus linguistics, natural language process and text mining. I have always been enthusiastic about using coprus to document and explore patterns of language use.
